A Red Tail Hawk, will have just that. Red Tail feathers. Make sure who ever is picking it up, has a "Falkery License" (probably spelled wrong). You need a special license just to have a hawk, eagle or falcon in your posession. They are beautiful, though, aren't they!
"The Eagle"

The one you rescued appears not to be as speckled and the head appears to be a different shape - but who knows!
